North Stars top Klippers in shootout once again
Following yet another comeback, the Battlefords North Stars defeated the Kindersley Klippers 4-3 in a shootout at home on Tuesday night.
In what was their fifth game in seven nights, the North Stars found themselves down 2-0 halfway through the game. They then scored three answered goals to grab a late lead, but Cody Hodgson tied it on a Klippers power play with under five to go in regulation to send it to extra time.
Overtime solved nothing before MacGregor Sinclair, Layne Young, and Chasteon Braid all scored in the shootout to improve the North Stars record to 16-3-1.
“It was a pretty exciting one,” North Stars assistant coach Boyd Wakelin said after the win, the team’s fourth straight. “Five games against them this year has been five tight-checking games. It’s probably going to be five more just the same.”
